Description

The Kitchen Aid WP3182857 Bowl Latch Spring puts tension on the bowl latch mechanism that enables it to go back to its rest position after being engaged or released. The latch is pulled back to its default state. It is attached to the point of connection between the latch and mixer body on compatible stand mixers, and is in such a way that it can regulate the action of the latch. The size and design of the spring will fit the latch assembly to make sure that it will engage and work in the same manner when attaching or detaching the bowl.
